[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#732945: Debian-Bug#732945: python-csb autopkg test always fails

[Ivan Kalev]

Hi Andreas,

Here is an alternative solution: in version 1.2.2 you can override the
default cache directory with -g:

  $ python csb/test/app.py --generated-resources /tmp

What do you think? Version 1.2.2 can be downloaded from PyPI or CodePlex

Best regards,
Ivan
